What is the meaning of the term braking efficiency?
Braking effort as a percentage of the weight of the vehicle.
Where would inertia cause the weight of a vehicle to shift during hard braking?
To the FRONT of the vehicle
How long will it take to stop a vehicle?
There are many factors involved and therefore no single answer. Some factors are reaction time, vehicle speed, vehicle weight, braking type, braking efficiency and vehicle type.
What is it called when the vehicle's weight shifts from side to side?
its called rocking
How is braking efficiency of a car calculated?
vehicle weight divided by total brake effort, then multiplied by 100
Can a motorcycle stop quicker than a car?
Yes, they have larger braking surface/weight of vehicle, than a car.
What is gross trailer weight braked?
This is the maximum amount of weight a vehicle can tow, if what being towed has brakes. A towed vehicle with brakes (electronic brakes) responds to the same braking that the vehicle doing the towing has. If the vehicle being towed does not have brakes, the maximum towing capacity is much less.
What happens to a cars weight when it goes round a bend?
The mass shifts to one side of the vehicle and G Force takes over.
What type of breaking quickly transfers the weight of your car?
Assuming you mean "braking", aggressive braking.
What is the difference between payload and towing capacity?
Payload dertimines the amount of weight your vehicle can carry safely while driving (Braking and Steering) Tow capacity means how much your vehicle can tow behind itself safely while driving. (braking and steering) Check your owners manual or cdall the dealer if not sure. Hope this helps
What are EBV in a car?
EBD: Electronic Brake Distribution (or Electronic Brake-force Distributor) - alters how much of the brake force goes to the front and how much to the rear. Cars always have more braking on front as if the rears lock before the front then the car will spin. How much braking you can do with the rears depends on how much weight is in the vehicle so EBD dynamically adjusts this balance. Without it, the manufacturer sets up the balance so the rears don't lock when the vehicle is empty which is less braking than is possible when the vehicle is full.
What has more stopping power front or rear brakes?
There should be more braking power to the front wheels for two reasons. As the brake is applied there is a change in the balance of weight distribution on all four tires caused by the vehicle pitching down on the front. This places more weight on the front tires. If there was more braking taking place on the rear tires than on the front, there would become an oversteer condition and the back of the vehicle would skid out.
